Programming Terms: First-Class Functions

In this programming terms video, we will be looking at the term “First-Class Function”. First-class functions are extremely important to grasp because understanding them will help us understand more complicated terms such as: Closures, Higher-order functions, currying, and more. We will be looking at examples of first-class functions in both Python and JavaScript so that we can really understand the concept, regardless of programming language. Let’s get started:
